ATI? RAID "VICTIMS HERALD LIST .CLOSING PATRIOTIC COUNCIL APPEAL Contributions amounting to £13,610 3s 8d have now been received by the New Zealand Herald toward the fund opened for the Auckland Provincial Patriotic Council to provide relief for Londoners who have suffered from German nir raids. A total of £2GI los 6d_ was subscribed over the week-end. The Hkhalo's list will close definitely next Saturday. Through the generosity of Aucklanders, money subscribed in the city area alone exceeds the provincial quota of the £IOO,OOO from' the patriotic funds which the Governor-General, Viscount Galway, forwarded to London. There is also a sum in reserve for further calls of this nature, and the standing committee of the Provincial Patriotic Council has therefore decided to concentrate all efforts upon ensuring that adequate provision is made for the other equally commendable objects of its appeal. From to-morrow the council's appeal will be foctissed on the raising throughout tho Auckland Province of the £250,000 which it lias set itself to collect as part of the Dominion-wide campaign for £1,000,000 for all patriotic purposes. These include rehabilitation, relief, assistance and support of dependants ot' members and ex-members of the fighting forces, and necessitous members of the forces.
